I have been exploring TED.com in my free time and I came across this
TED talk with Adora Svitak, who is 12 years old, and talks about the power of the mind of a child. While she was speaking I thought about the stages of cognitive development that Piaget came up with, and wondered how this girl fit into these AT ALL. She published a book when she was like six years old!!!
It seems to me like she jumped from preoperational right into formal operations. Anyway, that's my connection to what we're learning, I just really wanted to share this video. I STRONGLY recommend that you watch it; it's only about eight minutes and it will BLOW YOUR MIND how smart this girl is, I promise you.
